This workshop series is an opportunity to refine yo ur TK skills and expand your TK toolkit with highly knowledgeable instruct ors\, Sam Jay and Zero-Gi of NYC Shibari.Workshop dates:Thurs. October 15: 真 後手 Shin GoteThurs. October 22: 行 後手 Gyō GoteNote: Each wor kshop date covers **different content**(design\, techniques\, style) on th e broad topic of Gote/TK/box tie harnesses.Attending the first workshop is not a prerequisite for attending the second workshop\, though attendees w ill get the most out of attending both workshops.Participants may sign up for both of the workshops or for either of workshops.Description: In this workshop series\, Sam Jay & Zero-Gi teach skills for refining and deepenin g your TK tying and how to choose the TK details that are best for you. Th e Gote serves not only as a harness\, but also as a training tool. The ric h complexity of the Gote serves as an opportunity to practice tension\, pl acement\, frictions\, rope handling\, body handling\, and flow. The knowle dge and skills acquired in these classes will give insights\, options and skills that can then be applied to other ties.In these classes\, Sam Jay & Zero-Gi will introduce you to two main Gote families for suspension\, hel p you mitigate the risks\, and discuss in deep detail the technical and in teractive options at each step. Participants will learn skills and knowled ge from Sam Jay & Zero-Gi's extensive "TK tool kit"\, drawing from their e xtensive international shibari training and practice\, including a broad r ange of structural elements\, pattern components\, specific placement and tension. Participants will learn about the lineage/history of different TK designs and techniques\, as well as "why" behind different and techniques . Participants will work on adjusting specific elements/patterns/tension/p lacement to the body of the specific person in rope and the specific purpo ses and context. Body mechanics\, economy of movement\, risks and risk mit igation\, and more may also be included as part of the workshop. Participa nts will have the opportunity to receive individual feedback and assistanc e from instructors. Your craft\, creativity and artistry comes in with how you apply these options to the partner you tie.Thurs. October 15: 真 後 手 Shin GoteShin Gote style typically involves the following construction s: forward tension\, under-the-stem passes\, extension of rope ends to rop e bites\, and more precise geometric finishing rope patterns.Thurs. Octobe r 22:: 行 後手 Gyō GoteGyō Gote style typically involves the followin g constructions: reverse tension\, over-the-stem passes\, each rope tied o ff to itself\, and more improvisational\, asymmetric finishing rope flouri shes\, with the finishing rope only going on after an upline is attached a nd tensioned.Prerequisites: While Gotes are sometimes considered advanced topics in some rope circles\, they are considered introductory topics in m any other rope circles. These classes are suitable for beginners who can t ie a non-collapsable single-column tie\, as well as for intermediate and a dvanced students.Tying participants must at a minimum solidly know a non-c ollapsing single-column tie\, as well as a square knot\, half hitch\, and how to apply and adjust rope tension evenly to bodies. Prior experience ty ing TKs is recommended. Participants who have little or no experience tyin g TKs--and who meet the minimum prerequisites--are welcome to attend the w orkshops if they are up for the challenge\, and with the awareness that cl ass pacing is geared towards participants who are not brand new to TKs but are looking to refine and expand their TK vocabulary. Participants in rop e (being tied) must be able to comfortably place arms behind the back in a box tie position\, either with or without assistance from a partner. Prio r experience in upper body ties\, including both chest and arms\, is requi red. Solid body awareness\, particularly of nerves and joints and individu al rope preferences in the arms and upper body\, is also crucial. Prior ex perience in TKs is highly recommended. Participants who have little or no experience being tied in TKs--and who meet the minimum prerequisites--are welcome to attend the workshops if they are up for the challenge\, and wit h the awareness that class pacing is geared towards participants who are n ot brand new to TKs but are looking to refine and expand their TK vocabula ry.All participants must be able to clearly and efficiently communicate ab out rope and body issues that may arise.Partnering: Hands-on participation in the workshop requires a tying partner\, with one person tying and one person being tied. Solo attendees welcome to try to partner up with anothe r solo participant at the start of the workshop.What to Bring: Each tying pair will need 3-4 lengths of rope in the typical/standard lengths (~25-35 ft. long each). Having one shorter length as well may also be helpful.Rop e is also available for purchase with workshop sign-up & at the workshop.T icket info: TICKET REQUIRED - If there are no tickets shown for a particul ar event date\, it means that event date is sold out. Please review at che ckout that you're getting the ticket type & event date you want!Reduced Pr ice Tickets - For every workshop\, Coil & Cord offers dramaticaly discount ed tickets for community members struggling with financial hardships.

Waitlist means that if a ticket becomes available\, you will receive an email notification\, so you could buy the available ticket unl ess someone else has already purchased it first.Cancellations - View Coil & Cord's cancellation policies at coilandcord.com/policiesAll workshop att endees must be over the age of 18 and must sign the Coil & Cord liability waiver.Presenters: Sam Jay (Sam\, he/him) and Zero-Gi (Gigi\, she/her) are best known for bringing rope bondage to great heights\, from skyscrapers to high fashion. They have made a splash through their iconic NYC Street S hibari project and without-a-net high-altitude urbex suspensions\, giving them a unique perspective on suspension safety and dynamic risk management . Across New York and worldwide\, they are also known for bringing jaw-dro pping stunts\, rip-roaring energy\, feats of endurance\, and breakneck spe ed to the stage\, everywhere from Torture Garden and Dances of Vice fetish balls to Burning Man\, underground raves\, art festivals\, intimate salon s\, destination resorts\, off-Broadway shows\, and television. They've bee n teaching and performing together internationally since 2020\, most recen tly EURIX and Prague Shibari Festival\, with Danish Shibari Festival next. But the dirty secret is that it’s really all about the hot ties at home with an audience of one. Before joining forces in 2018\, Sam Jay picked u p strong fundamentals from 2011 to 2017 in the Osada-ryu-based Melbourne R ope Dojo\, where he was one of the first five students. In 2017\, he decid ed to tie partners rather than to tie styles\, and that has made all the d ifference. Zero-Gi caught the rope bug in 2017\, and while she owes a grea t deal to rich education in a diversity of tying styles from tops\, bottom s\, switches\, and self-suspenders worldwide\, she has always rooted her c ore practice in dedicated solo study\, challenging assumptions\, interroga ting standard forms\, and eventually developing and crash testing new ties on her own body first. Together\, Sam Jay and Zero-Gi have continually pu shed the envelope on a global stage\, from single toe suspensions and deat h-defying heights to popular new ties\, techniques\, signature transition sequences\, inclusive adaptations\, and dogma-ditching expansion of the st andard rope repertoire. While Gigi and Sam share their motivations (“woo ”)\, they don’t require you to adopt their fetish for adventure\, and instead focus on highly technical rope education with an angle to accessib ility.\n\nBoletos: https://www.simpletix.com/e/boxed-set-a-tk-workshop-ser ies-tickets-294351 URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/b01387cc-48a0-4543-93b3-744ce459af1 0 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
